I wish I could get my deadbeat family to participate.

Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it

I'm 19 years old, I drive Indy cars... I'm happy.
Marco Andretti, July 2006
The toughest people out there passing me are my teammates, and I don't get that. I think three of the four of us get what the camaraderie of Andretti Green Racing is.

I prefer to be here, even 34th, then being at home like last year.

Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.
Danica Patrick, June 2005
You don't pay me to run second.
Dan Wheldon to Chip Ganassi, Nashville 2006

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.
Roger Yasukawa, Indy 2007
I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...
